Edward POV

"ROSALIE! Jasper stole your cookies, not me!"

Oh my god, that f***ing diva.

Ok, let's get this straight; let me introduce myself.

I'm Edward Cullen. I'm a teenager aged 17 3/4. It is my birthday soon. My favourite food is Ice-cream, and I'm part of a large adopted family.

I have two 'sisters', Rosalie, (the drama queen) and Alice, (the dreamer). I also have two brothers, Emmett, (the strongman) and Jasper, (the moody cow). In addition, I also have two 'parents', Carlisle, (the doctor) and Esme, (the kindness in the family).

So, that's my family; and this is my life.


I carry on racing at full speed towards Rose. She's still a couple of hundred meters ahead of me, but my fitness gives me an edge.

I run. I run, I run, and I run. I run through the green, leafy forest that surrounds Forks.

I run over the mouldy leaves that squelch underfoot.

I run round the trees that spread their arms and attempt to trip me up.

I run until Rose stops, and I have caught up with her. I tell her about the cookies.

No response

"Rose, Rose "(I sigh) "Come on Rose, they're only cookies; what's up?"

Still no response.

So, it's going to be this then.

"Rose, I can wait just as long as you can."

I don't have to wait long in the end,

She opens her mouth and I look into her face, trying to read her expression.

"Edward…" No Eddy, I notice. I also notice the mix of concern, jealousy, and fear flashing across her face; and creaking through her usually smooth voice. She speaks again;

"Edward…We're all going to die…"
